Málaga, March 6, 2025 – Proqio, the leading infrastructure data intelligence platform, announces a pivotal integration with Geofem’s advanced InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data. This fusion brings continent-scale, satellite-based deformation monitoring directly into the workflows of geotechnical, mining, and civil infrastructure professionals, enabling a new era of proactive risk management.
This integration empowers organizations to move beyond the limitations of point-based sensors. By accessing Geofem’s millimeter-precision InSAR data within the Proqio platform, teams can now:
- Track ground movement and structural deformation over vast areas and long timeframes with satellite precision.
- Correlate satellite geo data with data from on-site geotechnical sensors (like piezometers, inclinometers, and crack meters) for a complete picture of asset health.
- Enhance risk assessment and decision-making for mining operations (including pit slopes and tailings dams), linear infrastructure, and urban development projects.
- Establish cost-effective, baseline monitoring across entire portfolios of assets, identifying areas that require targeted, ground-based sensor deployment.
Bridging Satellite Insights with Ground-Truth Data
The synergy between Geofem’s remote sensing expertise and Proqio’s unified data management platform breaks down critical data silos. InSAR provides the macroscopic, historical trend analysis, while data from in-ground sensors offers real-time, microscopic validation.
“In geotechnical monitoring and mining engineering, you need both accuracy and unprecedented scale,” said Roberto Prado, CEO of Proqio. “Integrating Geofem’s InSAR data directly into Proqio allows our users to detect subsidence, slope creep, and structural issues early by analyzing geo data trends over time. This is transformative for moving from reactive to truly predictive asset management and risk mitigation.”
Key Applications for Integrated InSAR & Sensor Data Intelligence
- Mining & Resources: Monitor slope stability in open pits, assess tailings storage facility (TSF) integrity, and track ground deformation around mine sites to protect personnel and operations.
- Linear Infrastructure: Conduct continuous condition assessment of railways, highways, and pipelines over hundreds of kilometers, identifying subsidence or embankment movement risks.
- Urban & Civil Infrastructure: Safeguard dams, tunnels, and building foundations by analyzing long-term settlement patterns and integrating geo data with structural health monitoring networks.
- Due Diligence & Insurance: Access historical deformation geo data for site selection, pre-construction analysis, and ongoing risk assessment reports.
